Wyoming Breezes

Upcycled Little Free Library West Laramie, WY Fall 2021 A creative person created a Little Free Library out of an old dorm refrigerator and placed it on a repurposed chair.  The small refrigerator is the perfect size to hold books and keeps them dry and secure during the Wyoming winter weather. 

Little Free Library Kiowa Park Laramie, WY November 2021 Last week I discovered a new Free Little Library in a small town park. It contained a variety of children and adult books and is located close to the playground and a nice bench. Some flowers were hand painted on the back. Have you discovered any new Little Free Libraries in your community? 

Little Library Grand Villa October 2020 The owner of my apartment complex built a Little Library for the tenants, and everyone could not be happier. It's twice the size of most of the Little Libraries I've seen, and has weather stripping around the doors, so it will be weather tight.  inside is a wide variety of books This is not a registered Free Little Library, but it's a great addition to the neighborhood, and better yet, it's just across the parking lot. 

Little Free Library 17th and Rainbow Laramie, WY August 2020 I finally found the Little Free Library that eluded me this Spring. It is located on the side of the house, but the address listed on the Little Free Library website gives the address of the house and NOT the Little Library.  The cute footstool invites little ones to see what the box contains: books, games, sidewalk chalk, hand sanitizer, and even dog biscuits.  this Little Free Library offers more than books to its patrons

Free Little Library E. Beaufort, Laramie, WY May 2020 Friday afternoon, I took a drive in search of three Free Little Libraries that have recently been registered online. Directions were sketchy on two of the locations, and one alluded me no matter how many times I drove by the address. It is impossible to see the Free Little Library on Beaufort when driving West because it is tucked back behind a fence. Once, I reversed direction and drove East, it was clearly visible. I love that the Beaufort library has a quilt block on its side. Free Little Library Little Moon Trail, Laramie, WY May 2020 Google Maps helped me locate the second library South of Walmart in a new subdivision. The library was packed with books and provided COVID-19 precautions for users. I liked the dual chimneys on this library. Since the public library has been closed since mid-March, I'm sure the little libraries have had a lot of visitors. I'll try to find the third Free Little Librar...

Little Free Library 1st and Grand Streets Laramie, WY April 2019 Last week, I joined a friend for a late lunch and discovered this adorable Little Free Library on the corner of 1st and Grand Streets. I stood at this location several months ago and took photos of a mural, and this little train car library was not in place.  Inside, I discovered magazines and several books. This year is the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad, and this weekend two historic Union Pacific steam engines will be passing through Laramie on their way to Utah. A huge crowd of railroad history buffs are anticipated in town. I hope to find a good place to view the massive steam engines.

Little Free Library Parker, CO August 2018 Brenda shared a photo of the Little Free Library she found in her neighborhood. I love the Swedish flag on the side and the bright and fun, paint colors.

Little Library on the corner of S. 5th and E. Garfield Streets Laramie, WY August 2018 I'm learning which streets to use to avoid university traffic and which streets have stop lights for easier turning. I've discovered which grocery stores have inflated prices and which ones have good produce. Laramie has a multitude of restaurants and is woefully lacking variety stores. It appears that Walmart is the only store in town that sells household goods. I've managed to find a dentist, an optometrist, a primary care doctor, and a hair stylist. I've registered to vote and obtained a recycling bin. My "To Do List" is getting smaller. The little library pictured above was not registered on the Free Little Library website, but it was packed with books. I saw it out of the corner of my eye as I was looking for another address.

Little Free Library Laramie, WY August 2018 Saturday was such a beautiful day that I explored the neighborhood. I found a Little Free Library all decked out with solar, decorative lights at the intersection of Plains Street and Bath Avenue.

Little Free Library  in front of Pizza Hut Riverton, WY July 2017 I finally stopped to snap a photo of the Little Free Library in front of the Pizza Hut. Every other time I thought about stopping, there were cars parked in front of it, so I couldn't get a clear photo. Other Little Free Libraries in Riverton can be seen here:      •   Riverton High School      •   Village Drive Have you spotted any new Little Free Libraries in your community?

Free Little Library Deer Valley Road Lander, WY October 2016 This cute Little Library has been on my radar since March, and last week I finally ventured out to find it. It's located in a quiet rural subdivision off of the Sinks Canyon Road. packed with a wide variety of books I always take a book with me on my Little Library adventures, so I can add to the collection. This library was well stocked: it contained writings by Shakespeare, children's books, novels, and non-fiction. I left my book, and took a copy of the Piano Tuner. Even though this Free Little Library is not in a densely populated area, it is a bright spot on the side of the road, and encourages others to take a good book to read.

Free Little Library Thermopolis, WY September 2016 Sue and Bert, dear friends from my teaching days, spied this cute Little Library in Thermopolis on their way to Cody and turned around to snap a photo for me. I looks like it's packed with reading material.  (Thanks for sharing this photo with me, Sue.) More and more of the Free Little Libraries are visible in the area. How I'd love to have one in my front yard.

Free Little Library Torey Pines Court and Village Drive Riverton, WY March 2016 After reading the post last week about the Free Little Library at the high school track , Julie W. (my knitting pal) found the Little Library near the golf course and snapped a photo for me. With Julie's discovery, it appears two Little Libraries are located in the Riverton area and one in Lander . If anyone knows the location of any other Little Libraries in Fremont County, please contact me and I'll feature them in a post.

Free Little Library near track Riverton High School March 2016 I went for a walk a couple of weeks ago and spotted another Free Little Library in my community. This one is right next to the football field and track. In 2014, I found a  Little Library  in Lander. There may be another Little Library near the Riverton golf course: I'll check it out one of these days. Have you noticed any new Little Libraries in your community recently?
